winter ready

[Lenni]

actually I dont like winter-but perhaps these mothas(schwalbe ice spiker) can make it more fun!

just had a asphalt ride,to make sure the spikes are all in.

funny noise when driving!

if the weather forecast holds,winter is here in a week,looking forward!

I managed to crash a car in Norway which was fitted with snow tyres, four of them too. Ride carefully my friend.

They work pretty well to improve traction on icey stages, be careful with cornering though. In deep snow your better of with a wider and softer tyre,
good luck

Do they spark when you skid on the road?

i made some years ago when we had good snow last time (fylde coast doesn't really do snow)
had some old knobblys, a big bag of self tapping screw, a scrap pair of tioga city slickers (as a barrier between screw heads and inner tube) and set off in the ice, i was amazed how successful it was

I bought a set of those in the summer in preparation for the winter commute. I hope we get a good load of snow in Sussex this year

I rode through a very light snow shower in the lakes this weekend and I'm forecasting it for the latter part of the week. You can all blame me if it doesn't arrive.
